SUMMARY:Revisiting Corypheus' prison in the Vinmark Mountains, near Kirkwall, and bringing back anything that might help the Inquisition's team understand more about Corypheus' weaknesses and how he might be defeated.

REPORT:
The prison was found partially collapsed, but in the interest of not wasting time or money on frivolities like "safety measures," and with no one wanting to look like a wuss in front of anyone else, everyone on the team voted to move forward anyway. There was a minor encounter with darkspawn, but no one was seriously hurt. The team managed to collect various artifacts of interest to be brought back to Skyhold for further study, including:

A collection of offerings from an altar within the prison

Six chalices apparently used for blood magic, likely to bind Corypheus himself (the other two were buried in rubble and not recovered)

A few unsettlingly large finger bones and spinal discs

A Grey Warden badge

A bundle of half-decayed papers

A mysterious and creepy orb
The orb was found by Thranduil. Luckily, his first move was to show it to Cassandra, rather than to hide it away and heed its strange call. Though he was reluctant to give it up, mumbling something about his "precious," she managed to get it away from him and tuck it safely away before anyone could place it on the altar and summon Malvernis.
